At the risk of seeming vain, I have posted one of my own quotes here today. It is something that I wrote to a new member at MS.I know that some disagree with my positive quotes, but believe me, it is one of the major things that got me through the rough days. The most important thing to remember is that we are what we are, not because we chose to be like this, but because we were robed of our innocence brutally.

Quote:

"You are good men and never forget that, you have just been hurt and used along life's path, and when you deal with that hurt you will discover the most amazing person hidden in there, one that you have been hiding and protecting for such a long time"
